Let's continue our walk through Prague, shall we?
From the Old Town square, we crossed the river, to go to one of major Prague attraction, Charles bridge.
Although heading there we stopped at an attraction I found even better: a tiny beach packed with beautiful swans.
We sat there in the sun for a while, observing the swans & ducks...
The children playing with them...
And one girl wearing a wedding dress... ?
We continued to the imposing Charles bridge & crossed it, to go back to the Old town.
The bridge is beautiful, there is a tower on each side of it and baroque statues all the long.
The view over the river & the city from the bridge is equally beautiful.
Artists, dancers, musicians & souvenirs sellers line up both side of the bridge.
Nevertheless I felt, as often in Prague, that the place was really too crowded to fully enjoy it.
Anyway, it's time for an afternoon snack.
Since we arrived in Prague, we saw people eating a cinnamon rolls stuffed with chocolate, ice cream, fruits, whipped cream... The trdelnik - nope I can't pronounce the word neither..
We compared a couple of stalls, choosing the one that looked nicer and ordered 2 chocolate cinnamon rolls. It's really the perfect afternoon snack, when in Prague :)

Eating our roll, we followed the river to the Dancing House.
Everywhere we looked, people were enjoying the warm sunset on the river banks or on little boats.
We were particularly tempted by these big balloons to walk on the water.
Before I started to worry that once inside, I wouldn't have enough air to breathe...
Anyway, we were supposed to be at 7pm at our hotel so that the concierge could walk us to our new hotel, so we didn't really have the time to walk on the water...
We continued our stroll then, looking at the beautiful buildings...
until we arrived at the Dancing House.
A charming & funny place :)
The afternoon coming to its end, we went back to our hotel to prepare ourselves for the our last night in Prague - do you know that in Prague there is the biggest club in Europe? But this is tomorrow story ;)

Also known as Fred & Ginger (from Fred Astaire & Ginger Rogers), the Dancing house is a building remembering a pair of dancers, designed by the Croatian-Czech architect Vlado Milunic & the Canadian-American architect Frank Gehry.

Love Prague, heard and seen so much goodness about the place. One day, i must visit the place and have that water walk, haa. #citytripping.
ReplyDeleteYes it's really a beautiful city, there's so much to do & see, it really, really worth a visit!! :)
DeleteWhat gorgeous photos - I do wonder what the woman in the wedding dress was doing! It's a while since I was last there and I've heard a lot of people saying it gets hugely crowded now (we were last there in about January, so I suspect not too bad then either) which is a shame - but not surprising everyone wants to explore the city. Thanks for linking up with #citytripping
ReplyDeleteI watched an reportage about Japanese girls that organize like a wedding without a husband, and they get all dressed up and do like photoshoot... maybe that's what the girl in the wedding dress was doing..?
DeleteOtherwise, it was really crowded yes, but all the beautiful cities often are ;)
Beautiful photos! I would want to visit that Dancing house. Thanks for sharing on #CityTripping
ReplyDeleteThanks Ahila! :)
DeleteI do know about the club! Haha - I was there in my early 20s with a friend and we had a brilliant time there. I'd forgotten about that! Thanks for the trip back to Prague #citytripping
ReplyDeleteAhah it's like the place to be that club in Prague!
